The Boston Red Sox Thursday, November 1, 2018 * The Boston Globe Why the Red Sox feel good about David Price going forward Alex Speier David Price came to Fenway Park ready to celebrate the Red Sox’ 2018 championship season, and hoping to do it again sometime in the next four years. Price had the right to opt out of the final four years and $127 million of the record-setting seven-year, $217 million deal he signed with the Red Sox after the 2015 season by midnight on Wednesday. However, as he basked in the afterglow of his first World Series title, the lefthander said that he would not leave the Red Sox. “I’m opting in. I’m not going anywhere. I want to win here. We did that this year and I want to do it again,” Price said minutes before boarding a duck boat. “There wasn’t any reconsideration on my part ever. I came here to win. We did that this year and that was very special, and now I want to do it again.” Red Sox principal owner (and Globe owner) John Henry was pleased with the decision. While industry opinion was nearly unanimous that Price wouldn’t have been able to make as much money on the open market as he will over the duration of his Red Sox deal, Henry said that the team wasn’t certain of the pitcher’s decision until he informed the club. “[Boston is] a tough town in many ways. I think [the opt-out] was there because it gave him an opportunity to see if he wanted to spend [all seven years here],” said Henry.

Boston on Foot Boston Is, After Pole, and the Green All, Considered the Monster, to Name a Few
85282 AALL Spectrum.apr 3/26/04 12:00 PM Page 18 Pack Good Walking Shoes Boston is an eminently walkable city. In fact, you can span the main part of it during a leisurely stroll. This is perhaps the best way to see the sights up close and in a relaxed fashion. If you were to consider the city a hub, like Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. did, imagine the center of the hub being the convention center. (There actually is a plaque embedded in the pavement in a downtown location depicting the true center, but for convenience purposes we’ll assume the convention center as the starting point). Get familiar with the points of the compass, and follow along. You’ll only need a few hours in any direction to discover a world of intrigue and interest.

Parcel P-12 Development & Urban Design Guidelines
PARCEL P-12 DEVELOPMENT & URBAN DESIGN GUIDELINES Development Guidelines Parcel P-12 is an approximately 30,000 square feet parcel located in the South Cove Urban Renewal Area, owned by the Boston Redevelopment Authority (“BRA”), doing business as the Boston Planning & Development Agency (“BPDA”). The objective for the redevelopment of Parcel P-12 is to create a dense, mixed-use infill development on an under-utilized public parcel that prioritizes affordable housing and a vibrant streetscape environment at the ground level. The guidelines in this RFP reflect input from a variety of sources, including recent community workshops conducted by the BPDA and the City of Boston. While there have been a number of past studies on this parcel, interested parties should respond to the development and design guidelines described below. 1. NEIGHBORHOOD CONTEXT: The parcel is situated at the convergence point of several neighborhoods, including Chinatown to the east, Bay Village to the west, and the Theater District to the north. The parcel is also located proximate to the Tufts Medical Center, the YMCA and the Josiah Quincy Elementary School and Boston Center for Youth and Families (BCYF) Quincy Community Center. Development on this site must therefore be sensitive and responsive the surrounding neighborhoods and institutional uses and should aspire to improve the existing context beyond the boundaries of the development. 2. HOUSING AFFORDABILITY: This development is a long-awaited opportunity to create a significant number of income-restricted units in an area that has experienced market-rate development pressures. As a result, at least half of the units should be income-restricted, so as to address displacement, which is a strong concern of both area residents and the City of Boston.
